On the smaller bulk carriers, one or two four-stroke diesels are used to turn either a fixed or controllable-pitch propeller via a reduction gearbox, which may also incorporate an output for an alternator. [4] The average design ship speed for bulk carriers of Handysize and above is 13.5–15 knots (25.0–27.8 km/h; 15.5–17.3 mph). [23]
The Code is designed to minimise the dangers to ship from carrying solid bulk cargoes. [2] It provides information on the dangers of cargo, as well as procedures for loading and unloading of cargoes. [2] Cargoes are categorized according to three cargo groups: A, B and C. [5] Group A refers to cargoes that may
The MACS3 Loading Computer System is a computer controlled loading system for commercial vessels, developed by Navis Carrier & Vessel Solutions. [1] Prior to October, 2017 it was offered by Interschalt maritime systems GmbH, and before 2007 - by Seacos Computersysteme & Software GmbH.
The Code includes design and construction standards, and equipment requirements. The Code also covers technical subjects such as cargo tanks and cargo containment, ship arrangements, pressure vessels, vapour and pressure piping systems, materials, controls and instrumentation, venting, fire protection, filling limits and other special ...
Generally, the B.Delta design has a relatively wide beam and shallow draft; with a combination of low fuel consumption and high deadweight. The exact specification varies, but a recent order for handysize B.Delta37 carriers featured: [2] 179.99m length; 30m beam; 10.5m Scantling draft; 17.6mt daily consumption at 14 knot service speed; 38,500t ...

The open hatch bulk carrier, often referred to as OHBC or conbulker, is designed to offer direct access to the hold through cargo hatches which extend the full width of the vessel. As a result, large cargo units can be lowered into place. If it is possible, the holds or hatches are designed around standard cargo unit sizes.
